some nice aircraft outside today and a visit from Thierry Klemm & Co from Doncourt with 3 oldtimers!

my highlight was finally being able to get a picture of this rare aircraft on the LX register, almost never seen outside, North American T-6G Texan LX-PAE:

Later I went to the spotting place near the Luxair hangar and I saw two surprises

A nice plane and rare in Luxembourg : Extra 330SC

And then the L-39 Albatros took off and disappeared in the sky. 5 minutes later I was looking at KLM“s Fokker 50 when suddenly I heard a terrible noise . It was the L-39 at full speed over the runway Sorry for the bad quality but I was a bit and took the photos in a hurry through the fence.

Nice catch Peter.

I only heard of this AT-6 but never saw it. Is it still able to fly?

nice Extra!

LX-PAE should be able to fly but -as far as I know- for many years a dispute about the ownership is going on, so that is why it is not flying...
